Accelerating sustainable growth
As the expert in organising and carrying out critical transport within chains that must never break, MKG now faces the challenge of uniting speed, reliability and sustainability. Demand for courier services and express transport keeps growing, but at the same time our responsibility to achieve sustainable growth with a greater positive impact on people and the planet is increasing too. Sustainable measures at MKG are therefore no longer a side issue, but an essential part of our daily operations.
Within our company, sustainability is naturally part of the strategy. This is not only about reducing CO₂ emissions, but also about creating a future-proof business model. We believe that investing in sustainable solutions is not only good for people and the planet, but also leads to more efficient processes, lower costs, attracting talent, connecting with new customers and, in the long term, a stronger operation that adds great value for our customers and society.
What this means in practice
Within the transport sector, entrepreneurs are required by laws and regulations to make the necessary sustainability improvements. For a relatively small organisation like MKG, it already takes considerable effort to implement the required sustainable measures within the deadlines and to provide our people with the right training and education. Even so, we always find room to think a little further and take an extra step within our operations. In concrete terms these involve:
Creating opportunities for everyone
Providing drivers with training and education for sustainable driving behaviour
Gradually replacing diesel with HVO100, a completely fossil-free fuel
Annually replacing part of the fleet with lower-impact vehicles
Implementing hardware and software solutions with data to guide our measures
Digitalising core operations towards real-time online insight and overview
Working with local suppliers for more sustainable solutions
Commercialising more sustainable solutions based on trust
Maintaining a positive mindset that seeks solutions inside and outside our organisation
Part of the bigger goal
By making it concrete, we will continue to invest in innovative solutions in the coming years. Digitalisation, automation and new forms of energy will play an ever-greater role. The big goal is clear: an emission-free logistics operation within the transport sector without compromising on service and quality. For us, sustainable measures are not an end point but a continuous process of improving and innovating. Only in this way can we, as a courier company, remain relevant in a world that must keep getting greener.
